Artist Creates Beautiful Realistic Portraits on His Hand and Stamps Them on Paper

Artist Russell Powell draws strikingly lifelike portraits on an unusual surface – his hand. The California-based teacher blends art and the body by painting eye-catching depictions of people on his palms. Amazingly, this textured, and the creased surface doesn’t stop him from adding complicated aspects and dramatic shading that gives the compositions a three-dimensional feel. Check out his Instagram profile for more work.
